Top Notch Supervisors
Supervision is flexible and oriented around the learning interests of our fellows, while at the same time ensuring that basic professional competencies are achieved. Fellows will be regularly shadowed in their clinics.
Each month, fellows will attend a day long didactic with the predoctoral interns, as part of the National Psychology Training Consortium – Cascades Region. As the year progresses, fellows may have the opportunity to lead and complete didactics.
We are very proud of the supervision that we’re able to provide. We have a varitey of psychologists with different backgrounds and interests that make our team diverse. Other huge differences include:
- Numerous opportunities to shadow and be shadowed
- Group Supervision
- Opportunity to work with people of diverse backgrounds and skills
- Precepting
- Robust Didactic Training
- Quality Improvement Project
